[Nick] Guatemala CCM: ¿futbol anyone?


Well i just got done playing Futbol with the elders , it was so fun. They are amazing. the best gringo player is their average player. I get to go to the temple today for the first time here in Guatemala! wooohoooo!! I’m so excited. I catch my self saying stuff like that and start to realize I’m turning into a Rhett.  Stuff like “i’m so pumped for the devotional on tuesday!” and stuff like “I just heard the greatest song!! here check it out (hymn)”  or “ELDER HOLLAND IS THE MAN!!”. Any ways. i love devotionals now that i’m closer with the spirit and i now realize how AWESOME conference is! i love it. The spanish is coming well! The hardest part for me now is just understanding what the heck they’re saying. i can mostly only talk gospel stuff.. everyday conversation is difficult for me, but i´m practicing. I hope that soon i will be able to understand when people in the hallways ask me random questions. I’m feeling much better now that i’ve got some good friends that i can talk with and i cant wait to meet more. Food is harder to come by here! there is no snacks i can just get out of the vending machines i wanna send you a video tour of the ccm but i dunno how i´ll get the video to you... it stinks. Anywho... this place is way cool and i hope i can get a video to you soon. My companion is practically fluent in spanish which really helpful throughout my time here.
